Community Reviews

This Verizon Pixel 11 Pro deal is mainly about getting a heavily discounted flagship and then verifying carrier unlock after activation. The strongest upside is the low out of pocket price, with store pickup and immediate activation often leading to an unlocked phone that works with Google Fi, Mint, T Mobile, or other eSIMs. The main catch is Verizon's confusing unlock behavior, since some units stay locked for hours or days and the bootloader remains permanently locked. Cancellation usually needs chat or phone support, and full month bills or prorated charge adjustments can take follow up.

I'm on mint also and want to upgrade from this 10 that's now unlocked and mostly for the extra 128 which I need. So I need to activate on Verizon or can I cancel since it works out the box?
If it works out of the box with Mint you can just cancel the line with Verizon making sure it's being disconnected right away.

There is a restocking fee I believe so I don't think it makes sense to return. The phone will be unlocked no matter what anyway if it's not already.

Doesn't really seem worth it to check if it's unlocked already. Just activate and cancel. You are going to need to cancel the service anyway, and it certainly looks better to Verizon.

Anyone on Xfinity Mobile? I can't get eSIM transferred from XM to the Pixel 11 Pro. CSR was able to add the new Verizon P11P to our account, but just can't get the eSIM to move.

Check with the google Fi free trial eSim if the phone is unlocked. I think there are some instructions in the thread about moving eSIMs which you can try later.

Check with google FI trial eSIM which is free, you download the app which downloads eSIM and sets everything up

You can first check if it works out of the gate with a non Verizon provider, if so go ahead and cancel. If not, you first activate it on Verizon then check and cancel.
So I can cancel in chat right or in store? It works out the box I didn't activate it yet but Google fi is working
